or occupants of such real property and such real property is served
by the sewer system, the sewer use rent against such real property

B. In the case of metered consumers of water supplied
by the Village who contribute to the sewer system an amount of sewage
substantially less than or substantially greater than the amount of
water supplied to such metered consumer by the Village or in case
of owners or occupants of real property within the Village who are
not consumers of water but are connected to the sewer system, the
Board of Trustees shall fix and determine the sewer rent charge applicable
to such real property upon such other equitable basis as shall be
determined by the Board.
At the option of the owner of real property
being served by the sewer system, such owner may, at his own expense
and subject at all times to the approval of the Superintendent of
Public Works, install, operate and maintain sewage meters, gauges
or other suitable devices for measuring the amount of sewage contributed
to the sewage system. In such cases, the quantity of sewage shall
be determined by such metering device, and the sewer use rent applicable
therefor shall be the same as would be imposed for a like quantity
of water consumed on said premises.
It shall be the duty of the Superintendent of
Public Works to make a survey annually or at such other times as may
be required by the Board of Trustees to determine whether there is
being discharged into the sewer system from any real property within
the corporate limits of the Village sewage or other waste which, in
the opinion of such Superintendent, contains unduly high concentrations
of solids or any other substance adding to the operating costs of
the sewer system. Upon the completion of such survey, he shall file
with the Board of Trustees a report of his finding, indicating whether
additional sewer rent charges should be levied for such sewage or
other waste, and, if so, he shall set forth recommended charges for
the same. The Board of Trustees is authorized to fix and determine
such additional sewer use rent charges therefor as shall be equitable,
in addition to the sewer use rents provided for by the preceding sections.
[Amended 12-9-1991 by L.L. No. 6-1991]
Sewer use rents shall begin to accrue October
1, 1972, for use on and after said date.
The Village of Maybrook does hereby establish
and impose a scale of sewerage facilities rents upon each parcel of
real property within the corporate limits of the Village upon the
following basis:
A. Assignment of units.
(1) Each single-family dwelling on not more than one acre
will be assigned a value of one unit.
(2) Each multiple-family housing structure and apartment
house will be assigned a value of one unit for the first dwelling
unit and one unit for each additional dwelling unit contained within
the housing structure or apartment house. A "dwelling unit" shall
be defined as a room or group of rooms occupied or intended for occupancy
as separate living quarters and having direct access from the outside
or through a common hail.
(3) All land other than that not more than one acre for
each single-family dwelling will be assigned 1/2 unit for each
separate lot shown on the Orange County Tax Map for the Village of
Maybrook fronting on a public street and if not such lots then 1/2
unit for the first acre of land or any portion and 1/2 unit for
each acre or major fraction thereof over the first acre.
(4) Each church will be assigned a value of one unit and
each parsonage house or parish house will be assigned a value of one
unit.
(5) All other properties within the Village other than those specified in Subsection
A(1),
(2),
(3) and
(4) above will be assigned units based upon the following formula: the number of units equals the subject property's assessed value prior to exemptions, abatements, etc., divided by the average assessed value (prior to exemptions, abatements, etc.) of all residential property within the Village.
[Amended 9-25-1989 by L.L. No. 4-1989]
B. The sum of all units derived in the manner described in Subsection
A(1),
(2),
(3),
(4) and
(5) above shall be divided into the annual cost of debt service and capital expenditures to determine the sewerage facilities unit charge.
[Amended 9-25-1989 by L.L. No. 4-1989]
C. The owner of each property in the Village shall pay a sewerage facility charge equal to the number of units assigned to that property, multiplied by the sewerage facilities unit charge determined in Subsection
B above.
D. The sewerage facilities rent shall be computed as
above and determined and fixed annually as part of the budget adopted
for the Village's next fiscal year and based upon the amount necessary
to be raised for debt service and capital expenditures in such fiscal
year and the Village assessment roll for said year.
